I had some trouble getting into this book and had a couple of "false starts" (ha ha, I made a reference). I don't think it's unusual for the first book in a series to be a bit tough at the start, that's not a new experience for me. She did hit the whole get them with the first line mark, just meandered a bit as she introduced her characters. Once I did get into it, I found it enthralling and finished it quickly; high marks from me. I'm looking forward to the next one. It should be noted that the book is set in Montreal and I am FSL and and fan of Quebec, so I think that made me like it more.

Pretty much what you want out of a crime mystery novel, however: Temperance Brennan is not a very good friend, and she's a bit selfish. Kind of makes it hard to latch onto her character. Though one could argue it makes her a more realistic protagonist and what we seek in fiction is not ourselves but a glorified fictional version of ourselves etc.
